Yes, indeed, as Sybren says, more info is needed to answer your question.

If I ASSUME you follow standard unix practice and that your program reads
from stdin, then you get the input from a file by using input
re-direction. For example

bash-prompt: box-test-program <file-to-read-from

Of course, I have made a few other implicit assumptions too, such as that
it matters whether you are reading a character at a time or a line at a
time, ...
